#2 is one that makes me think, first I agreed completely, because I know I change all the time, nobody remains the same, but then I realize that the unchanged place has also changed, because nothing remains the same - and then I realized that maybe it's my perceptions that have changed, that there is the possibility I am only standing in a different place, looking at a different view |

tristrixi wrote a new diary post: Letter back to a friend
The question is then, how to implement this remedy? I agree and also wish to find an exit to the destruction which is wrought by war.

tristrixi wrote a new diary post: Hello, Dimitri? Hello?
The conversation between the fake Koch and Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin is revealing in many ways. One aspect is interestingly where the telephone discussion turns to the national agenda of the corporate and financial elites of globalisation and multi-national corporate entities. The various points made by Walker, which included coordinating the various state legislators and [...]

tristrixi commented on the blog post Misguided Austerity Could Literally Hurt Our Brains and Our Future
What more need we hear to know the voice of the system speaking with a voice sonorous and yet still tempered by a timber tolerable for some. Harken to the trumpets now shrill in their braying that the sacrifices which Nation needs must be made on the backs of the many who can least bear it.
Oh bummer is the kindest of present monikers to this situation which has been a brewing for over 30 years, the bitter swill is now all that is offered as the dream of the American worker. Not too long ago but fading from the cognizant discussion, against today's anointed explainers of the new decider's choosing to side with corporations and multi-nationals against the citizens, is the role of government acting for the people.
Still we forget the admonition, "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence,… The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." [Eisenhower, January 17, 1961]
But this has been played out recently (and more significantly is now playing out here in spades), we need only to look to the adventures of the multi-national financiers with explicit government backing, to extract the wealth of nations, such as those in South America, Asia, and the attempt almost completed then ended by Putin in Russia. To impose an austerity based debt peonage system on the majority of citizens, which benefits only the financial elites of the plutocracy, in the name of government doing what's good for the nation, STINKS.

"There's just too much money in it." Astounding admission. Today Hilliary Clinton answered the question as to why the U.S. couldn't legalize drugs.

Would it be hard to fight for justice if the sop of equal economic opportunity and the attendant hope of prosperity were at least moist? No is the answer plain.

As this is known [...]
tristrixi commented on the blog post Late Night: Egypt the Prize
Well demonstrated, and as pointed out, the re-fashioned history or present to conform with a political "reality" is modus operandi. The operators of the realm politic, the financial power of the established policy machine, and the sycophants are eager practitioners of the Newspeak which Orwell demonstrated has the purpose of serving the State.
It is hard to deny when hearing the pained and twisted explanations of U.S. government officials, all the way up to the President, trying to balance the importance of imperial satellite states and the supposed support by this government of "democratic" aspirations. -

tristrixi commented on the blog post Brooksley Born of the FCIC: "We may well still be in a financial crisis"
Interesting. Born and five others on the FCIC report hint at the wreck that is yet to come, as the system is largely unchanged and the financial institutions are only larger. Yet, four of the commission dissented, and are issuing a dissenting report. This will weaken the whole, if any effect, of the exercise of the FCIC inquiry. Then to be seized upon by the media as an issue of principles and economic philosophy regarding views of the role of government and business. And of course the bugbear, regulation and the rule of law.
The most serious results may be deferred prosecution agreements (DPA's), or non prosecution agreements (NPA's). No "To Big To Fail" institution or it's officers will suffer for these crimes of the century.
Otherwise the Fed will continue to print (originate) money, loan it to these very financial institutions ("banks") at near zero interest, accept known trash as collateral, and then broadcast which Treasury Notes they wish to purchase, allowing these "banks" front run by purchasing the Notes and inflating them, then to be sold to the Fed on our dime, crap, I mean't millions

The speaking voice of the President tonight, is soothing in its inflections of earnestness.

tristrixi commented on the blog post Israel Exonerates Itself – Shooting 9 Unarmed Civilians Was Self-Defense
One only has to substitute another nation's name where Israel is written. What then? Try Iran for example, and would the acquiescent attitude still be the same? What if China were? But it is Israel. Oh, yes there were short lived protests and expression of outrage. Clearly the gears of the imperial hegemony are turning for their own ends and security trumps liberty.
tristrixi commented on the blog post Franken Assails FCC, DoJ Approval of Comcast-NBC Merger
This is another indicator of the consolidation of wealth and power into the hands of a very few. The level of control held by fewer and ever merging corporations may soon to reach an apex. Resulting in a very select and small group of huge and influential corporation dictating policy to the public with government backing. Yet they strive on to the pinnacle of free market solutions, hegemony, to rule all and have no competition, free to extract unhindered profit.
The sycophancy of the government to these corporate "citizens" is indicative of the hand in hand relationship that exists more often than not in today's globalized U.S. It falls down to the fact that the perceived role of government is none other than that of enabler and facilitator of private corporate enterprise.

May, the season of fresh greenery.
Posted on 02. May, 2012 @ 10:59 pm by harvey in Culture, Food Views: 6,851
This is a guest post from my personal friend, Yuko (@guideyu and @guideyu_) from Guide-Yu, the super personalized Japan tour guide!
Yuko is awesome. She's Japanese – but she also is an avid Kabuki fan, makes Japanese sweets in her spare time, and even dances traditional Japanese buyou! A true fan of Japanese culture. Today she has provided a post introducing the connection between traditional Japanese sweets and the seasons. Really fascinating stuff if you're interested in Japanese culture. Enjoy!
In the traditional Japanese calendar May is called 皐月 (sa-tsuki), short for 早苗月(sanae-tsuki), which means "the month of the young sprouts." Yes, May is the time for rice farmers to start planting.
The Japanese, who originally lived in a mainly agricultural society, have lived in harmony with nature and are known for their sensitivity to the seasons; not only the four seasons that we all know, but also even slighter more subtle periods between those four seasons.
This seasonal concept is also fundamental to 和菓子(wagashi / Japanese Confectionery, or more simply, Japanese sweets).
While there are simple and plain wagashi that are eaten throughout the year, many wagashi are meant to convey a sense of the season by representing the change in nature or seasonal festivities.
For example, 桜餅(sakura-mochi / cherry blossom rice cake; pink colored rice cake (or sometimes crepe) with sweet red bean paste inside, wrapped with a salted cherry leaf) is often eaten as a spring delicacy. However, sakura-mochi is usually limited to the late March to early April timeframe, which also corresponds with the time when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
Once sakura-mochi season is over we then have 柏餅(kashiwa-mochi / oak leaf rice cake; rice cake with sweet red bean paste inside, wrapped with an oak leaf) which is usually eaten from late April to early May. Kashiwa-mochi is traditionally served on May 5th, Children's Day, a national holiday to celebrate children's growth and happiness; the oak leaf is the symbol of our descendants' prosperity.
For the hot and humid Japanese summer there are wagashi that provide a refreshing and cool feeling. For example, these wagashi might have the color and shape of a stream of water. When autumn is around the corner there are red and yellow colored wagashi that represent the autumn foliage. In the winter wagashi take on themes of snow, camellia, and of the new years celebrations, to name a few.
There are countless examples like these for each season, and even further variations in the different regions of Japan.
The combination of 餅 (mochi / rice cake) and 餡 (an or anko / sweet red bean paste) is one typical example of wagashi, but there are other ingredients for wagashi to provide a variety of different textures, colors, and flavors, for each season and for each occasion.
There you have it! Hope you enjoyed learning about the seasonal context of traditional Japanese sweets. I know I did.
Yuko is planning to provide more content in the future so look forward to them!
What's your favorite traditional Japanese sweet? Do you know it's cultural meaning?

What TPB did and Google does not, is format the search results in a way that makes it easy to get exactly what you want. If you use the well known filetype:torrent on Google to search something all you get is the standard high page rank hits first. This with no peer or seed numbers, comments or screen captures,so it is a crap shoot as to actually getting a good file. I guess they will hide behind the term vague search results, or, 'we only provide the links and nothing more'. Now if the comments and seed info were decentralized... well that would be...

WoW Gold (424 comments)
When I was still gaming on a regular basis, I came up with the idea that in WoW a simple solution would be the following. Most if not all Gold sellers are using lvl 1 characters, and, most if not all use the words or combination of words, Gold, 1000, $xx.xx and some web address in their shout outs. By combining these variables with the current ability of people in game to tag players as spamming, it would be fairly easy to turn a character into a killable target if it passes a certain spam score. Let's say three spam tags and at least 2 key words. It then becomes a game to kill the Gold sellers.
The other thing would be to make it impossible for any character on a trial account, or under a certain minimum level from entering any city.
When Gold sellers have to pay $15 a month to create characters who have to be played up to level 10 before they can get into a city and keep getting killed the second they shout out, it becomes more of a cost then a benefit.
Oh, and to all you mages out there, and I am one, stop porting lvl 1 characters to cities.
What to say? (86 comments)
You would think that Microsoft researchers would spend more time patching Windows rather than saying idiotic things like 'It is possible that these miscreants somehow collaborate or at least are aware of each other's "products."'.
Considering Conficker has been all over the news and the maker of Neeris would have to be working in a cave beside Osama not to have seen anything about it, I dare say it is more than freakin' likely they know of each others products.
Now if only Microsoft knew as much about Windows as these guys do, we might actually get updates that that were more valuable.

The President at Coast Guard Academy Commencement: "I've Seen Your Devotion to Duty"
Watch President Obama give the Commencement Address to the Coast Guard Academy, here.
The President gave his last Commencement Address of the season this afternoon at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. He spent the bulk of his time walking the graduating class down memory lane of the years of tough training and education they had endured, but first he spoke about his personal experience with the Coast Guard:
I have to say, it is a personal pleasure to be here, because since the day I took office, the United States Coast Guard has played a special role in my presidency and with my family. I've seen the Coast Guard's precision when some of you -- the Class of 2011 -- marched in the parade during my inauguration. You looked pretty good on that day, too. (Laughter.) It was a little colder that day, if you recall. (Laughter.)
I've seen your devotion to duty -- all along the Gulf Coast -- when the Coast Guard, including members of this class, worked day and night, tirelessly, as you led the largest environmental cleanup in our nation's history.
I've seen your pride, when I was in, of all places, Afghanistan. I was in Bagram, thanking our troops for their service. And I was giving a shout-out to every service -- Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. And then, way in the back of the crowd, a voice shouted out: "and Coast Guard!" (Laughter.) There was no ocean in sight. (Laughter and applause.) Not a body of water visible anywhere. (Laughter.) But the Coast Guard was there, serving with honor, as you have in every major conflict that our nation has ever fought.

Hi....Really hoping someone can help.
I don't have much technical knowledge but will do my best to provide details of my problem. My home was built in 1977. Split level. The basement is finished but there is an area under the front of the house that isn't. Not sure if this is technically a crawl space, but it is under my front room. Access is under the stairs/front entry and the area is approx 15 x 15'. Obviously, there is a foundation surrounding this area (concrete walls approx. 3', but the central part of this area simply has a dirt floor. The floor of the front room is about 5' up (5' ceiling for crawl). I live in the Pacific NW and lately we have had rats burrowing up from under the foundation....and they surface in this crawl space and have a direct line into the walls in the garage and basement. They are driving me crazy and making for unsettling sleep. Not to mention the rats here are 6-8" long without the tail. :( My solution is to have concrete pumped into this crawl space as a way to keep them from burrowing up. All the rat control in the world won't help until their access is cut off. Just wondering if I can do that....simply pour concrete in this area directly up to the foundation. Are there any special considerations? All of the plumbing runs along the back half of the house. House is on septic. Thanks so much for your help!!! Keith |
Follow-Up Postings:
Never heard of rats burrowing under a footer - do they dig nice neat tunnels that you can see from the outside of the walls ? I can't see what you got, but think I'd be inclined to dig in or simply tap down some metal flashing along the outside walls to make them need to burrow deeper to get under it. Unless of course you plan on using this 5 foot tall room for storage then a concrete slap may be a good idea but do get youself a mason to do that so he'll do it up right and nice. |

Chipmunks are very prone to do as you suggest. Rats have been known to dig through even cured concrete if it is poor quality. A couple of inches of quality concrete should help. Put down vapor barrier first. |

Rated 3 out of 5?by Joey42 A little expensive.
The apartments are not well insulated so the electricity bill was rather high. The walls seemed to be paper thin also because we could hear our neighbors perfectly. Other than that it was a nice place to live.

Rated 5 out of 5?by Lisa2010 Great place to call home
The Village at Cloud Park is a great place to call "home". The entire staff always greet you with a smile and are very helpful to our needs, and are quick to attend to any problems that arise. The grounds and facilities are kept clean. I live alone here and could not feel safer anywhere else....I love having a park with a running trail just across the street from my home.

Rated 5 out of 5?by satisfied customer Highly recommend!
My husband and I decided on Cloud Park after shopping around the Dayton area for an apartment. We lived there for a year (2012-2013) and had a wonderful experience. The office staff was friendly and helpful. We had no major maintenance issues, and the few small ones were quickly resolved. The neighbors were quiet.
The apartment was in great condition, and we really loved the view from the patio. The floor plan was spacious and made it easy to entertain.
Cloud Park is a great place to call home.

My wife was transferred from her Company from China to the Huber Heights area of Dayton. We looked at various apartment complexes but decided to rent from The Village at Cloud Park. The office staff was very professional and gave us various options. They contacted us with updates of availability and referred us to various services in the area. The complex is ideally located and close to restaurants and shopping areas. The airport is only 20 minutes away and the major Interstate Highways are nearby.

Rated 5 out of 5?by Sara This Community is great!
I visited this community and was very impressed. I was warmly welcomed by staff who were very helpful and polite. I toured a model apartment and I was very surprised by the quality. There was no noise at all I could hear a pin drop most of the time. The grounds were well maintained and there was something for everyone.

DisFIGURED is a movie about two women dealing with their bodies and their body issues. Deidra Edwards plays Lydia, a Venice Beach fat acceptance activist who nevertheless struggles with her own feelings toward her body. She meets Darci, played by Stacy Lawrence, a recovering anorexic, when Darci tries to join her fat acceptance group. The movie is about the relationship between the two women, and of course their relationships with themselves.
The film has been an official selection of many film festivals, including the AFI Dallas international and CineQuest San Jose, and won the Grand Jury prize at the deadCENTER film festival. Critics have been raving about it, with Steve Rhodes of InternetReviews.com calling it a "delightful and honest story, full of poignant and humorous moments."
There will be an exclusive New York City engagement starting tomorrow, July 18th, at the Two Boots theater. Showtimes will be Friday at 5 PM and Saturday through Thursday at 7 PM.

Android typically makes its bread and butter on phones, with a side order of tablets. Palm-sized media players aren't usually on the menu, save for Samsung's own offerings. Today, the company announced a refresh for its handheld phone-less device. The notPod may not be the most in-demand category of devices, but if Samsung's taught us anything this week, it's that the company isn't one to turn down a niche market.
I bet you thought that when Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab 10.1 2, that the company was finished unveiling 10.1" tablets for the week. Not so! Today Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 10.1, a full-size tablet packed with the Galaxy Note's trademark S Pen. Oh, and did we mention that the tablet comes pre-loaded with Adobe Photoshop Touch and Adobe Ideas? Yeah. It's actually pretty cool.
While the Galaxy Note has had its fair share of critics, the supersized phablet has also gotten some pretty glowing reviews.
Almost a week ago, we got a peek at the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Sammy's latest 7" iteration of the Galaxy Tab line. As expected, the Korean manufacturer has just unveiled the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 - the 7.0's bigger, badder counterpart.
Look familiar? The Tab 2 10.1's form factor is reminiscent of the 10.1n, with an added touch of style to the forward-oriented speaker grills. As for the Tab 2's specs, here's what we know so far:
- 10.1" 1280x800 PLS TFT display
- Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (with TouchWiz UX)
- VGA front shooter and 3MP main camera
- 16/32GB Internal storage, expandable via MicroSD
- 1GHz Dual-core processor
- HSPA+ 21MBps 850/900/1900/2100 connectivity (in the non Wi-Fi variant)
- Incredible 7,000 mAh battery
Many of the specs above should look familiar too, as they are shared with the original Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Looks like Samsung is getting a head start on its MWC announcements, and one of the first devices to hit the scene is the Galaxy Beam. While the Beam's specs aren't all that impressive, it does have one trick up its sleeve:
- 4.0-Inch 480*800 TFT display
- 1GHz dual-core processor
- 6GB RAM (this must be a typo, but that's what the Beam's landing page says)
- 5MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front camera
- 8GB built-in storage with microSD slot
- 2000 mAh battery
- 15 lumen projector
...did you catch the kicker?
We've taken a look at a few different cases for the Galaxy Nexus over the past several weeks, but they've all been the same type of case: ruggedized. However, not everyone wants a case that is constantly attached to their device.
Some people prefer a much simpler approach, like a slipcase. That's exactly what the Crumena case from SPIGEN SGP (formerly just 'SGP') is -- and it's a damn nice one.
While the much-talked-about Galaxy S III will be conspicuously absent from MWC this year, BGR has received an exclusive tip relaying some of the handset's juicy details. To start with, BGR reports that Samsung is holding off the S III's big reveal in order to "shorten the gap" between announcement and official release. Samsung is evidently planning to release the S III in over 50 global markets simultaneously.
The S III is also rumored (according to BGR's "trusted source") to be packing a 4.8" display (thought to be Super AMOLED Plus HD), a quad-core processor, Android Ice Cream Sandwich, 4G LTE connectivity, and a stylish back piece made entirely of a ceramic material.
We love giving stuff away, which is why we do it so often. As you probably know, we normally tell you guys to leave a comment, like a Facebook page, retweet a message, or something similar, and then we pick a winner at random. Today, however, we're going to do something a little bit different.
We're going to play trivia.
Not Android trivia, either (that would be too easy). We're going to play "Oscar Trivia." So, how are we going to do this?
The Samsung Galaxy Note (and its unheard of size) has been a hot topic since its AT&T release this past week, and we have seen quite a few conflicting opinions on the practicality of the device over the last few days. Many say that the gigantic screen prevents users from carrying it around comfortably, while others claim that it doesn't feel much different than any other phone. I've had the pleasure of using the Note for the past week, and I must say that I am incredibly impressed.
The Galaxy Nexus launched with rather little accessory support from Samsung. Recently, they (finally) released a GPS mount, and now the pogo desktop dock has hit the store and is available for purchase. What's special about a pogo dock compared to a normal dock? This dock uses pogo pins - which match up to the three metal dots on the side of the GNexus - to charge the phone, rather than a normal charging port.
I'm not sure how season two of Fact Checkers Unit escaped our attention back in January, but thanks to Samsung's official blog which highlighted this hilarious series today, we now know better. And let me tell you, if you haven't seen any of the new episodes yet, you're in for a treat.
Fact Checkers Unit started as a short film with Bill Murray, then turned into a web series (Hulu has the first season episodes as well), and thanks to Samsung, MTV, SXM Entertainment, and Moxie Pictures has now reached season two.

WASHINGTON, 1 December 2009.- As the world commemorates today the struggles to defeat the HIV/Aids epidemic, Latin America's own plight reminds us that it is still a region engaged in a fierce battle against time to defeat a disease that has inflicted great havoc on its population.
As the world commemorates today the struggles to defeat the HIV/Aids epidemic, Latin America's own plight reminds us that it is still a region engaged in a fierce battle against time to defeat a disease that has inflicted great havoc on its population.
"We've made progress with respect to treatment, reducing the mortality rate and delaying the onset of the disease in infected persons, but we must increase our focus on prevention among sexual workers, homosexuals and drug addicts," says World Bank Latin American health specialist, Joana Godinho.
Statistics are on Godinho's side. According to the 2009 United Nations' AIDS Report (UNAIDS), there are two million people living with HIV/AIDS in Latin America, while 170,000 new cases and 77,000 deaths linked to the epidemic have been reported. In the Caribbean, meanwhile, 240,000 people are living with the disease, with 20,000 new cases and 12,000 deaths reported. Unprotected sexual relations between men, sex workers and injecting drug users are the main focus of new infections, according to the report. For example, in Peru the number of male AIDS cases reported in 2008 was nearly three times higher than the number among females, "although this 3:1 differential represents a considerable decline from 1990, when the male:female ratio of AIDS cases approached 12:1", says the UN study.
This continuing source of fresh cases is fueled both by a shortage of clear-cut prevention policies for high risk groups and by institutional prejudice, which in some countries still penalize homosexuality and prostitution, making the educational effort needed to stop HIV transmission even harder.
Challenging regulations
Although prevention programs in Latin America have tripled since 2005, more than 40% of the region's countries still have laws, regulations or policies that hinder treatment for high risk population groups. In the Caribbean, more than 20% of countries have these regulations.
In spite of this somber scenario, however, there still seems to be reason for cautious optimism.Take Brazil, where the government and the World Bank maintain a healthy partnership through various projects aimed at combating the spread of the epidemic.
After two decades of joint efforts and a US$400 million investment, the results are clear: 620,000 Brazilians are infected with HIV/AIDS today, half of the 1.2 million expected to have become infected by 2000. Approximately 180,000 people are on antiretroviral drug treatments. As a result, AIDS mortality has declined by 50 percent in Brazil, preventing an estimated 90,000 deaths.
Progress can be attributed to a transparent government prevention policy, which has enabled it to focus on high risk groups, and also to innovative World Bank-supported programs aimed at improving the governance of AIDS projects, fully integrating disease treatment in public health systems and overall strengthening of health systems.
Although prevention is still a great challenge –50% of new cases have their origin in high risk groups- the Brazilian government has taken control of the situation and "is making progress in this area too", according to Godinho.
As the AIDS epidemic turns 30, Brazil's experience in reducing the transmission rate can be a good lesson for the entire region, according to Keith Hansen, World Bank regional manager for health issues.
"The goal is not to stabilize HIV, an easily preventable but difficult virus, but to drive it back and get rates as low as possible," he added.
Central America at a crossroads
AIDS does not measure everyone with the same yardstick, and despite standardized regional statistics, transmission and infection rates vary across the region.
One of the most troublesome areas is Central America, where the constant migration to and from the United States contributes to the spread of the disease and hinders any effective prevention and control policy.
Since journeys tend to last several weeks and migrants travel without their families, this area has struggled with this disease more than others, according to Marcelo Bortman, World Bank program leader for Central America.
As a consequence –warns Bortman- "hidden [HIV/AIDS] epidemics" have been detected in the area which in addition to regional interdependence and similarity of circumstances, call for the implementation of a joint regional strategy. Such strategy, financed by the World Bank through a US$ 8 million donation, includes a sophisticated diagnostic laboratory and an advanced monitoring system for migrant populations, among other measures.
"We believe that the best option is to look at this problem regionally because there is a lot of horizontal migration, and also because in that way we achieve economies of scale", Bortman said.
The Caribbean looking stable
In the Caribbean region, meanwhile, the epidemic seems to have stabilized and the number of people dying because of AIDS – as well as the number of new cases – is going down, largely due to the availability of free antiretroviral medicines, according to specialists.
Furthermore, a greater number of people in the region now have access to antiretroviral therapy and many are turning up for treatment during the early phases of the disease, said Carmen Carpio, health specialist at the World Bank.
"This is a positive development but it questions the sustainability of further treatments, especially costlier second- and third-line drugs," Carpio maintained.
In light of recent evidence, Caribbean countries need to prioritize young people as a critical high risk group. There are approximately 11,000 children under 15 years of age living with HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean, making them the group most affected by the epidemic, the expert said.
The World Bank has provided US$ 150 million in resources and funding for a wide variety of initiatives against AIDS in the Caribbean, including scientific research and laboratories, prevention programs and support for direct treatment.
It has recently approved two new projects for Jamaica, worth US$ 10 million, and Barbados, worth US$35 million, to reinforce those countries' prevention strategies and contribute to slowing down the infection rate, according to experts.
"The epidemic has stabilized, and even though there's still a great prevalence among high risk groups, it's not growing at the rate we feared", Carpio added.
All these initiatives have done their bit in the global and regional struggle against the Aids scourge and have had relative success in what is really important: saving lives. Looking forward, though, the developing world will have to deal with the increasing costs of combating the epidemic, estimated to reach US$ 35 billion – three times the current figure – by 2031 if the status quo is maintained.
That's why Godinho, and many experts like her, insist on refocusing current prevention efforts on policies that have a greater impact on prevention and effective treatment, which could slash costs by half. They also recommend investing in new prevention tools and targeted initiatives to change behavior patterns that can result in further progress against this illness.
"We should not lose sight that the final objective, and our greatest satisfaction, is to save human lives", Godinho concluded.

Senate Majority Whip Mitch Seabaugh (R-Sharpsburg) wants to eliminate a bunch of Superior Court judges in Georgia. Seabaugh says getting rid of 19 judges would save the state $13 million to $14 million. This means we Georgians would then have money available for really important stuff like building Gov. Sonny Perdue's $9 million horse barn in Houston County and enough cash left over for a palomino or two. When state government works well, it is an awesome sight to behold.
Earlier this month, many Georgia television viewers, newspaper readers, radio listeners and Internet users likely were shocked at the graphic images, stomach-turning descriptions and bluntly worded warnings that turned up on their screens, pages and radios. The candid messages are part of The Georgia Meth Project, a hard-hitting ad campaign designed to discourage meth use among teenagers.

• Day 21 (Monday, March 8): After a two week working recess to address our budget woes, we're back in session today and greeted with more bad news as we learn that February's revenues fell by nearly 10 percent from this time last year. Considering that February 2009 revenues were down by 34 percent from February 2008, this means that February 2010 revenues are down 44 percent from two years ago- devastating news.
The news in Georgia has gone to the birds. Literally. The latest big debate in the state isn't centered on how lawmakers are tackling the much-hyped $1 billion budget hole or even how the Atlanta Braves look at spring training. The campaign creating the most buzz isn't political in nature - it's ornithological.
In the midst of one of the worst economic crises in memory, the Georgia General Assembly has to make some extremely difficult financial decisions. I don't envy their job.
The news is not good for Georgia on the economic front. It seems sales tax revenue is down approximately 10 percent from February 2009, and last year revenue was down ... well, let's say they were way down and leave it at that for now.
April 1, 2010 is the deadline for accepting applications for homestead exemption for tax year 2010.

As a child who wanted nothing more than to grow up and become a journalist, I used to write stories for and draw out my own homemade "newspapers" to distribute to my family on Sunday mornings at breakfast. I tried to design my publications based on what I thought each of my family members might want to read. Dad's "newspaper" was about sports and my younger sister's often featured reports on Strawberry Shortcake and her social circle.
For the past two weeks, the Georgia state legislature has taken a working recess to address our budget crisis. At issue are both the FY 2010 amended and the FY 2011 general budgets.
The crowd gathered behind barricades in barely contained anticipation - and in some cases adoration - Tuesday prior to President Barack Obama's arrival at Savannah Technical College reminded me of Beatle-mania way back in the 1960s, when four charismatic musicians from Manchester, England, forever changed America's rock music scene.
Editor's note: State Rep. David Casas, R-Lilburn helped write this column.
The budget was the focal point and our top priority last week. Although the General Assembly was not in session, our time consisted of attending and giving input during the subcommittee meetings of the Appropriations Committee.
I am up to my gizzard with our governor and Legislature and assorted bureaucrats stomping around in public education with little regard for the consequences of their actions. Example: One school system in the state has been considering allowing the police to bring Tasers into the schools to quell unruly students.
Editor, I read Mr. Bruce McCartney's letter to the editor regarding the Wounded Warrior Project. He is totally correct. The project is top-heavy with a greedy group of executives.

Editor, On behalf of the St. James Community Church family, we would like to give thanks to everyone for coming out to our church-appreciation banquet that was held Saturday, Dec. 6.
Allen Peake is a man on a mission. The five-term Republican state representative from Macon is the driving force behind proposed legislation to legalize medical marijuana in Georgia. He may succeed this year after suffering a setback in 2014 when the House and Senate got into a bit of political brinksmanship at the last minute and failed to pass his bill, which had sailed through the House with only four negative votes.
I know, most resolutions are already ditched by Jan. 8, but if recycling more or being more environmentally minded was one of your resolutions (and it should have been), then I have an opportunity for you.
My parents, according to the world's definition of "cool," were not. Neither drank, nor did either ever possess a credit card. Groceries and clothing were paid for in cash, utilities paid by check, and the only monthly payments they ever allowed themselves were a mortgage for a house, a short-term loan for another farm, and a couple of cars bought, over time, and paid for quickly.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded in 1909. It is the nation's oldest and largest civil-rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the pre-eminent advocates for civil and human rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal-opportunity enforcement in the public and private sectors.
"What I am saying is, we spend too much time, we waste time, the city's time that the people have us up here to do. We waste that time. We looked at it the first of October and November and December, we're still going over the same stuff. Why don't we go on and do what we're supposed to do? Get it approved and move on to the next issue that this council is supposed to be doing".

In pseudocode:
if (js == true AND iframes = true) ... {load AdSense code} else ...{load a default banner}
Keep in mind you can't tamper with the AdSense code itself. Thanks!
So you only need to detect iframes in the script, and you also need to put the default banner in a <noscript> tag.
Revised pseudocode:
<script> if (iframes == true) { ...(load AdSense code) } else { ...(load a default banner) } </script> <noscript> ...(a default banner) </noscript>
I suppose I could try to insert a small iframe of my own, and if it worked, then I would know the browser supports iframes, but that seems awfully round-about. Anyone know of a better way (that doesn't rely on user-agent strings)?

text: I have been trying to use the Insulin Resistance Diet and exercise to get control of my PCOS naturally but it's been incredibly difficult. I lost 10 lbs but re-gained 5 almost immediately. I finally went to the doctor to ask for some medications to help me out. She prescribed Metformin (which I have been on before for a couple of months before becoming pregnant), a cholesterol drug, Spironolactone, and I am going back on birth control for my crazy hormones. She also gave me an Rx for the strips for my Glucometer, she said even though I am not diabetic my insurance should cover it for PCOS. I am also being treated for depression. I am hopeful with all of these things I will be able to finally get some control over my body! :carrot:

Waxing sustainable for the sake of the bees
Bees and bee keeping practices are the topic of several events in the village this week.

Weigh in on natural gas power plant
Discussions on the environmental consequences of the Village's electricity sources have heated up of late, especially since its municipal power provider AMP first asked the Village to purchase power from a new natural gas plant last month.
Local farmers' markets to screen sustainable agriculture film
The Winter and Summer Farmer's Markets are jointly sponsoring a free local screening of FRESH. See the trailer.
Village solar project proposed
The Village of Yellow Springs, which already gets a third of its electricity from renewable sources, has an opportunity to add locally-produced renewable energy to its portfolio.
Solar farm discussion continues
The Village is exploring the technical requirements for a 2 to 5 megawatt solar photovoltaic array that may be built in the Village. In a conference call this week, plans were made to study the Village's electric distribution system before Council discusses SolarVision's proposal at its March 22 meeting.
Whey to go: local cheese arrives
Those who prefer local foods can now add a variety of locally-produced cheese to their diets, thanks to two area dairies that have recently been turning fresh milk into cheese.
New firm aims big for local solar
In October, a new local company, Yellow Springs Renewable Energy, held a public forum to educate the community on the renewable energy revolution taking place in the country and state their goal of leading that renewable energy revolution locally.

The Tax Man Comes To Virtual Australia
Re:Surprising? (91 comments)
If you are able to go your entire life without using a single state-provided service, then in all likelihood you are probably far enough off the radar that not paying taxes won't hurt you. Truthfully, you probably don't even need money if that's the case, so it's a non-issue.

Walmart is about the only reason for open or concealed carry that I can get behind. -Randar
wonderful news, thanks
Just bottled a batch that I subbed two 60oz bottles of POM juice from Costco. SWMBO says it tastes like a white zin. It is just a little more tart than the original. Can't wait till it has it's time in the bottle!!
Drank about 16oz of it that didn't fit into 750ml bottles about an hour ago after having not eating anything today. Went straight to my head.
How should I store this? I just re-sanitized the gallon jugs and put the finished product back into it. Will it be fine say 6 months from now or will mold start to grow in it?
"brewed" tonight using Lalvin EC-1118 yeast. here we go! damn! I forgot to take a SG reading!

I really don't understand the difference between pain and suffering from cancer verses the pain and suffering from arthritis or just simply a broken down tiered body from being a working stiff. Everybody is entitled to there own opinion. I honestly see a conflict of interest. I don't know how a person who does not have cancer will get the same protection under Sheriff Crabtree as a person prescribed medical marijuana for say chronic pain from tore up knees from being a rig slinger in the woods.
I also did not like how it was made fun of how these medical gardens are needing security. If government had not made marijuana what it is today, It would not be a topic of jokes at Kiwanis meetings. Like a gentlemen had stated in the paper a while back, "The problems from marijuana stem from it's illegality."

With numerous information drive disseminated about disaster safety guide and whatnot, come hell or high water you probably know the drill: stock up on survival basics like food, water, first aid, security or self-defense, and sanitation. If you've considered them, then you're already many steps ahead than those who don't. While Americans feel they're knowledgeable about preparation for emergency/disaster situations, only one in three have actual preparedness plans, according to the SUNYIT/Zogby Analytics poll last year.
Let's say that your disaster survival kit can go a long way to survive the disasters, but there's more to the crisis situation that you should know (especially if you haven't experienced anything like it at all). While you're at it, it's also important to be aware of the next big disasters that can happen what with Mother Nature getting so fed up with our selfish, destructible ways on this planet (or maybe the end is just near, we'll never know). The intention is not to create panic, but a reality check is crucial every once in a while. If such things happen, know that we're not completely helpless. Continue reading


text: It obvious people wish commercials would just go away. Ok so then how do shows get made? Are networks in the business to provide free entertainment for the masses just to be nice? I'm asking a serious question so serious replies only. People don't get is if they did away with commercials you TV bill would be 5 times than it is now. Shit is going to get paid for one way or another the sooner people get this concept the better.

So I used high-ratio shortening and I put a 6" on top of an 8", being two tiered and as I did it, the icing started cracking big time!! WHAT??!!! WHY???? It's on a drum base so I would think sturdy enough..I'm refridgerating the cakes tonight thinking maybe too dry with heat in my house( although it's barely on!)
I used 1 cup hi-ratio, 4.5 cups sifted ps., some ext and water for correct consistency..not too runny nor thick..When I smoothed it out with hot knives from hot water on stove, the cakes were beautiful!! NOW, they look all crackily and I don't get it!! HELP!!!
I have the big fat straws , 4 of them in btm layer, and 1 wooden dowel running through middle..so why the heck is these cakes doing this??
Well, all cakes are in fridge now, hoping that will solve the problem?? But what else can I do as I'm afraid if I put more icing on and smooth, then as it's transporting, it cracks up again..
PLEASE HELP ME ASAP! I don't know what to do???
I'm freaking out and may not sleep tonight over this..
Thanks so much for all whom can help me here..I need it!

Hands down, my favorite beer is Rogue's Oregon Golden Ale. Has anyone actually tried to clone this beer and had good results? I've searched the forum, but can only find dead guy and some other rogue beers...but no Oregon Golden Ale. I understand that the ingredients are on the side, but I need some proportions. It reads as follows: = = = = = = 7 Ingredients: Malts: Northwest Harrington, Klages & Maier Munich. Hops: Cascade and Willamette. Yeast & Water: Rogues Pacman Yeast & Free Range Coastal Water.http://www.rogue.com/beers/oregon-golden-ale.php = = = = = = Any ideas?
13 P (1.053 OG) 77% Aparent Attenuation FG 1.012 35 IBUs I would go 75% Pale, 25% Munich. Hit your IBUs with a 60 min addition of either hop, and then add .5 oz of each in the last few minutes of the boil. Sadly I don't believe the Pacman strain is available from Wyeast at the moment, but 1056/001/US05 will do a fine job. Mash temp will depend on your strain, ~152 for the liquid strain, maybe a bit higher for the dry (I find US05 to be very attenuative). Should get you pretty close, but it might take a re-brew or two to really dial it in.
Check out The Mad Fermentationist for my adventures in fermentation and my book: American Sour Beers!
Sorry, no help on the clone. I have never had this brew before. However I did just ordered a smack pack of Pacman from Northernbrewer.com last week.
Oldsocks' advice on the recipe is a good way to go, this is a pretty simple beer (and good!) As far as Pacman it's a year-round strain now through Wyeast. It's my go to yeast, good for most ale's. Try and buy it at a LHBS, that way it's likely it was shipped well. good luck
Thanks a lot guys. I'll give this a try! Cheers

Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture
>> Elie Saab says his Fall 2011 couture collection — red carpet-ready, as always — was inspired by skyscrapers, but stylist Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou, who has worked with Saab for three collections, laid it out in layman's terms: "We wanted to explore the fragility of femininity. These dresses have a diaphanous fairy like feel to them but remain empowering. It's always a challenge to relate Elie's inspirations and themes to his couture customers but he remains mindful of this at all times." The collection, filled entirely with dresses — most of which reached the floor — was presented in a kind of ombre formation, each section exiting by color: first aquamarine, then white, blush, mauve, bronze, and finally, navy, before the couture bride brought it back to white.

Mayne Island, BC - Canada
About Terrill Welch
"I am a woman living a life of simple abundance. My vision for the world is that we are walking in the sunshine of our soul." – Terrill Welch
British Columbia artist and photographer Terrill Welch's distinctive palette, quick sure painting strokes, and photographic images capture forest, sandstone, sea and sky. They remind us that there is only one moment – this one.
Terrill sold her first oil painting when she was fourteen years old and had two successful solo watercolour art shows in the late 1990′s in Prince George B.C., Canada. Terrill's 3rd solo exhibit SEA, LAND and TIME, from Sept 3 – 22, 2010, featured her oil paintings and photography at the Mayne Island Reading Centre (the library). Paintings were sold to costumers as far away as New York City. Large canvas prints of seascapes and landscapes of the west coast were passionately acquired to grace homes and offices in British Columbia and Alberta. Terrill's latest solo exhibit STUDY OF BLUE was from June 30 - July 27, 2011 at the Oceanwood Resort. Seven of the fifteen paintings sold. Five the remaining paintings were requested by the venue and are now on showing in their luxury suites. Terrill's next series is SQUARED TO THE SEA and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2012.
Born in the village of Vanderhoof in north-central British Columbia, Terrill's art training came at an early age and continued more in the European style of mentoring and tutoring.
At seven years old, Terrill was enrolled in correspondence for home schooling. She thrived in the structured art assignments which taught scale, perspective, composition, shading and colour in the grade two curriculum. Between lessons she would sit and read -- and reread -- the material for each assignment, often working far ahead in the course work, just for practice.
At fourteen years old, Terrill was invited by Australian trained artist and teacher Sheila Timmins into an adult evening painting class. There she began her first in many years of art training by individual course work.
Watercolour artist and teacher Jack Peterson was Terrill's instructor and mentor during these years of evening and weekend classes while she was living and working in Prince George B.C.
In 2002 Terrill began taking classes under the direction of artist and renowned Canadian teacher Glenn Howarth. She took three years of figure drawing and painting lessons in small classes of less than six students. During this time, she learned more about how humans see, and how that can translate into a drawing or painting than at any other point in her art career. Terrill attributes the strength of her current work in oil painting and her photography to Glenn Howarth's brilliant tutelage.
From her home on Mayne Island, British Columbia, Terrill works full-time as an artist, photographer and writer.
